Psychiatric Health Strategic Research Centre

WelcomeProfessor Michael Berk welcomes you to The Psychiatric Health Strategic Research Centre

The Psychiatric Health Strategic Research Centre sits within Deakin University's School of Medicine.It is an integrated research facility that aims to increase knowledge and develop new treatments for people suffering from major psychiatric disorders.

Research projects have focused on mood and psychotic disorders, particularly bipolar disorder. Our current activities are in the area of oxidative biology and risk factors for high prevalence disorders; however, many other fields of psychiatry research are also being pursued, including
basic science, pharmacotherapies, clinical audit, psychometrics, psychotherapy, epidemiology and clinical research.
